Chronotype and emotional/behavioral problems mediate the association between leisure screen time and academic achievement in children
This study aimed to examine the associations between leisure screen time, chronotype, emotional/behavioral problems, and academic achievement using mediation analysis. A total of 113 children aged 9-12 years participated in this study. All participants were assessed for leisure screen time, chronotype, emotional/behavioral problems, and academic achievement. Leisure screen time was evaluated using a self-reported questionnaire. Chronotypes were measured using The Japanese Children's Chronotype Questionnaire, and the morningness/eveningness (M/E) score was calculated. Emotional/behavioral problems were assessed using The Ja...

Relationship between Traumatic Experiences, Circadian Preference and ADHD Symptoms in Adolescents with ADHD Residing in Institutional Care: A Controlled Study
In conclusion, traumatic experiences in institutionalized adolescents with diagnosed ADHD may exacerbate ADHD and disruptive behavior symptoms. Evening chronotype is associated with ADHD and disruptive behavior symptoms, and therefore, the chronotypes of these adolescents should be assessed. Chronotherapeutic interventions may assist in reducing inattention, hyperactivity, and behavioral problems.PMID:38375810 | DOI:10.1080/07420528.2024.2319218 (Source: Chronobiology International)

The relationship between chronotype, psychological pain, problematic social media use, and suicidality among university students in Turkey
Chronobiol Int. 2024 Feb 19:1-9. doi: 10.1080/07420528.2024.2320226. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronotype has been extensively linked to various psychological outcomes, including suicide, which significantly impacts the mortality rate among young adults worldwide. Research on the extent of these links is still ongoing. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the complex relationships between chronotype, internet addiction, problematic social media use (PSMU), psychological pain, and suicidality in a student population. A total of 571 Turkish students (65.3% female, mean age 20.3 ± 1.63 years) completed the followi...

The relationship between chronotype and food addiction: Serial mediation of social jetlag and psychological pain
This study evaluates how food addiction is related to chronotype, social jetlag, and psychological pain. Of the participants (n = 1,035 university students), 16.6% had a morning chronotype, 25.1% had an evening chronotype, and 25.1% were clinically addicted to eating. The mean sleep durations for participants were 7.41 ± 2.18 h and 8.95 ± 3.0 h on weekdays and weekends, respectively. The mean misalignment time for social jetlag was 1.45 ± 1.5 h. Food addiction, psychological pain, and social jetlag levels were high among participants with the evening chronotype. The risk factors for food addiction included being female,...

Warm-up is an efficient strategy to prevent diurnal variation of short-term maximal performance in young basketball players
The objectives of this study were to investigate: 1) whether there were morning-to-evening differences in short-term maximal performance and 2) the impact of prolonged and specific warm-up on short-term maximal performance diurnal variations in young basketball players. Fifteen basketball players of both sexes (Male = 8; Female = 7; age: 14.4 ± 0.46 yr; weight: 64.7 ± 7.1 kg; height: 175.2 ± 6.6 cm; BMI: 21.1 ± 1.9 kg/m2) completed the following short-term maximal performance tests: CMJ with and without arm swing, Lane Agility Drill, Zig-Zag agility test with and without the ball, Sprint 20 m with and without the ball ...

Patterns in behavioural sleep variables and social jetlag in elderly people of Western Odisha
Chronobiol Int. 2024 Feb 14:1-12. doi: 10.1080/07420528.2024.2315216. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn humans, sleep is an essential physiological process for life and survival. The main objective of the current study is to determine the behavioural sleep patterns and social jetlag in elderly adults. The second objective is to define the relationship among subjective sleep quality, mid-sleep timings, social jetlag, and sunlight exposure. We recruited 945 female and 1047 male participants aged ≥ 60 years from 65 rural villages in the Sambalpur district of Odisha, India. The Munich Chrono Type Questionnaire (MCTQ) is a sel...

Wild mice in an urbanized world: Effects of light at night under natural and laboratory conditions in the single-striped grass mouse ( < em > Lemniscomys rosalia < /em > )
Chronobiol Int. 2024 Feb 14:1-9. doi: 10.1080/07420528.2024.2317284. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUrbanization, and the accompanying artificial light at night (ALAN), can disrupt the activity of animals. Such disruptions at the base of a food web can ripple through the ecosystem. Most studies of ALAN are performed in the laboratory. Thus, we lack basic information about the circadian responses of animals under natural environmental conditions to fully evaluate the impact of ALAN. We studied the behaviour and activity of wild-caught, peri-urban single-striped grass mice (Lemniscomys rosalia) under a natural treatment and i...
